I've just finished my first blush with KDE 3.1. I gotta' tell ya', it's nice. On
a scale of 1 to 10, it's right up there at 8 maybe a 9.
What I like the best about KDE 3.1, is.... the applications FINALLY load quickly
when compared to previous 3.xx revisions. My evaluation copy of KDE 3.1 was done
on OpenLinux 3.1.1. I used GCC 2.95.3 and GLIB 2.2.5. I didn't use any
performance enhancing compile options or tools (like objprelink) this first time
around and... it still runs fast!
That said, the KDE 3.1 startup time has VASTLY increased. On an old k6-2 55omhz,
it's about twice as long as KDE 3.0.5a... From my perspective, I don;t give a
hoot how long it takes to load up... the trade off is faster loading
applications.
Lonni, you may just like this KDE piggy. It's big, it's slow loading... but you
can get some real work done on it... unlike previous KDE 3.0.x versions.
It's got a feature that I haven't seen before or used yet, DESKTOP SHARING, that
should be hoot. Maybe I can use it to displace vnc on my lan... we'll see.
This all I have to report, till I start digging into the bowls of KDE3.1. My
first blush is very good and I highly recommend you try it.
Have a good day, Jerry.
